  The SAP error message /SCWM/UI_TO_CONF011 indicates that you are trying to create a Handling Unit (HU) in a context where it is not allowed. Specifically, the message states that you can create a Handling Unit for either a storage bin or a resource, but not both at the same time.
  Cause:
  This error typically occurs in the SAP Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) module when:
  
  You are attempting to create a Handling Unit in a situation where the system is confused about whether the HU should be associated with a storage bin or a resource.
  The configuration settings for the warehouse or the handling unit management may not be set up correctly.
  There may be a misunderstanding in the process flow where the system expects a specific context (either a storage bin or a resource) but receives conflicting information.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check the Context: Ensure that you are in the correct context for creating a Handling Unit. Decide whether you want to create the HU for a storage bin or a resource and ensure that your actions align with that choice.
  
  
  Review Configuration:

  Check for Existing HUs: If there are existing HUs in the system that are conflicting with your current action, you may need to resolve those first.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for more detailed information on Handling Units and their creation processes.
